Chapter 1020: Extreme luxury

"About the general situation of this apartment and the goal I am looking for, I will introduce it here. Now please follow me and start this treasure hunt together!

Because this apartment has a huge area, there are 22 rooms in total, and it will take a lot of time to explore one by one, so please be patient.

If you have limited time or have other things at hand, then go ahead and do something else. There is no need to watch the live broadcast. When you have time later, you can watch it online again. You can choose!

Before discovering the treasure, this treasure hunt must be a bit boring. In order to add a bit of fun to the live broadcast, I will intersperse some knowledge of antique art.

If you are interested in the content in this area, you may wish to listen to it. It can be used as a pastime, or you can learn something related to antique art. There is no harm.

What I have said is related to this luxurious apartment and the antique works of art that have been displayed here. I have done some homework specially, I hope you like it!

Talk less gossip, get back to business! Let's start from where I am now. This is the front hall of the apartment and the facade of this apartment. It is still very interesting! "

With that said, Ye Tian turned to the front hall and walked to the wall facing the apartment door.

It is not a bare wall, it is covered with light brown cherry wood boards, solemn and elegant, with a taste of luxury! It was empty, without any accessories.

However, it can be seen from the marks on the wall and the floor that there was a painting on that wall and furniture on the floor, but it was moved away.

As for who moved them? Naturally the guys at Christie's auction house.

Seeing Ye Tian walking towards the wall, Jason immediately followed. The phone camera always locked Ye Tian's figure and continued the live broadcast.

Betty and David did the same, followed enthusiastically, looking curiously at the wall ahead.

At this time, the live broadcast has become more and more lively.

"I'm going! This is to popularize the knowledge of antique art for everyone! It's interesting!"

"Although I don't like Steven, who is a troublemaker everywhere, there is no denying that he is indeed the top professional treasure hunter and antique art appraisal expert! This live broadcast is worth looking forward to!"

While discussing, everyone stared at the live broadcast, looking forward to the official start of the treasure hunt.

The waiting time was very short. After a few seconds, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again, and it was in everyone's ears.

"Everyone, please look at the wall facing the door of the apartment. There are a few marks on it, very clear!"

Ye Tian stood sideways, raised his hand and gestured towards the wall.

Following his actions, Jason's phone immediately shifted the focus, pointed the camera at the front wall, and quickly zoomed in!

The imprints on the front wall were then clearly presented on the live screen, before everyone's eyes.

Without a pause, Ye Tian's voice kept coming, and he began to explain the story of the front hall.

"We can see that there is a large area in the center of this wall. I believe everyone can tell at a glance that there was once a painting hung here, and the size is not small.

That's right! There was indeed a painting hung in this location before, and it was a top-level work of art. It came from Pan Tianshou, a famous painter in modern and contemporary China. It was one of his masterpieces, "Man Ting Qing Fang".

It is a Chinese painting that is elegant, refined and full of charm. It is rare and has extraordinary artistic value! It is An Siyuan's favorite artwork, so it is hung in the front hall.

Maybe you don't know much about Chinese traditional painting, Pan Tianshou, the famous modern Chinese painter, or the artistic value of "Man Ting Qingfang", and don't understand its goodness.

It doesn't matter, it's normal. After all, you haven't come into contact with Chinese traditional painting much. In order to let everyone better understand that famous Chinese painting, I will explain it from the perspective of market value!

This is a bit vulgar, but very intuitive! After Mr. An Siyuan's death, this piece of "Man Ting Qing Fang" was auctioned by Christie's auction house, and the final sale price was 1.56 million US dollars.

This famous painting was taken by a collector from China. The price is not bad, but not too high. The highest transaction record of Mr. Pan Tianshou's painting is more than 40 million US dollars! "

Following Ye Tian's explanation, there were bursts of exclamation on the live broadcast end.

"Wow! Although I don't know Chinese art, I know very well what a fortune is 1.56 million US dollars! It can definitely make people crazy!"

"Such an expensive painting is actually hung in the front hall! An Siyuan's heart is too big. If this is me, I must confess this painting and hold it in my arms every day, so I can rest assured!"

While exclaiming and discussing, everyone became more and more interested in this live broadcast. They watched the live broadcast with great interest and listened to Ye Tian's professional explanation.

After introducing Pan Tianshou's "Man Ting Qingfang", Ye Tian pointed to two smaller marks on the wall and continued to explain loudly

"Look at these two imprints. They are located on both sides of the painting's imprint. They are small in size and symmetrical in position. The two candlesticks once hung in these two positions are used to embellish the famous Chinese painting.

The candlesticks that are qualified to appear here are naturally not ordinary goods. They are a pair of gilded mahogany double candlesticks from the Georgian period. They have a history of more than 300 years and are of great value!

There are only three pieces of antique art hanging on the wall, each of which is very rare and valuable. Unfortunately, they no longer belong here, leaving only a few marks that once existed."

"Hey!"

There was a sigh on the live broadcast, mostly from professionals in the field of antique art collection in New York.

Especially the antique dealers, collectors, museum curators, art dealers, etc. who have come to this top luxury mansion, talk about it here, at this moment, there is a sense of sadness that all things are wrong and the prosperity is lost!

Ye Tian's voice has never been interrupted, and it keeps coming to everyone's ears.

With his professional explanation, the live broadcast picture is also changing.

"Look again at the area in front of the wall. The imprints on the wooden floor are also clearly visible. Obviously, several pieces of furniture were placed here.

Like the three antique artworks hanging on the wall, the furniture that was once placed here is also an extremely rare and valuable antique artwork.

These more worn white spots on the floor are the marks left by the chairs. They are two Huanghuali armchairs from the Ming Dynasty in China, which have a history of four to five hundred years.

Ming Dynasty furniture is the pinnacle of Chinese classical furniture, with concise shape, rigorous structure and beautiful texture. Each piece is a unique work of art, especially Huanghuali furniture!

The several Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs owned by Mr. An Siyuan can be said to be one of the best Ming Dynasty furniture that exists in the world. They are almost unmatched, and they are priceless.

Everyone must be at a loss now and don't understand the value of these two Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs, then I will give the most intuitive evidence to prove their extraordinary value.

An Siyuan has a total of four Ming Dynasty Huanghuali ring chairs. At Christie's Jinse Nianhua special auction, this set of four chairs sold for a total price of 9.68 million US dollars.

If you count the commission, the transaction price steadily exceeds 11 million U.S. dollars, that is to say, the value of each chair exceeds 2.8 million U.S. dollars, which is absolutely sky-high furniture, rare in the world!

These four Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchairs were photographed by Chinese collectors. In the field of Chinese antique art collection, Ming Dynasty Huanghuali furniture is a priceless treasure! Can meet but not ask! "

Before the voice fell, the live broadcast was already frying, and the exclamation sounded frantically.

"God! I heard you right? Really? A chair is worth $2.8 million. Even if you use gold to build a chair, you can't use that much money? It's an exaggeration!"

"My God! It seems that poverty really limits my imagination. An Siyuan is so extravagant that there are two chairs with a unit price of more than $2.8 million in the front hall.

Coupled with the painting just now, two gilded candlesticks from the George I period, and other things, the antique artwork in the front hall alone is probably worth more than 10 million US dollars!

Also, the Chinese are so rich! How do they make their money? Could it be that the strong wind didn't make it, and spent ten million dollars on four chairs! I can't imagine it! "

While exclaiming, many people's eyes turned red in an instant, which was caused by envy or jealousy.

In the live video, Ye Tian continued to explain, his voice was clear and confident.

"Let’s look at this circular mark again. There used to be a bronze drum from the Song Dynasty of China. It is an ancient musical instrument with a long history of over 900 years. It is very rare!

This Song dynasty bronze drum is also very valuable. On the surface of this bronze drum, there is a flower basket from the Edo period in Japan. The carvings are quite exquisite and rare!

On the floor in front of the chair, there is a woven carpet from Ningxia, China. It is a work of art with Chinese characteristics. It has a history of hundreds of years and is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! "

In the process of Ye Tian's explanation, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the exclaims on the live broadcast end came one after another and almost never stopped.

People have been completely stunned by the luxury of this front hall and by An Siyuan's great handwork. Everyone is full of incredible eyes and can't believe what they have just heard.

This is the life of top antique dealers and collectors? There is no end to luxury!

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, I have introduced all the antique works of art once displayed in this luxurious front hall. I hope you like them.

Now it’s time to get to the topic, to see if there are any secrets hidden in this front hall, and if there is the emerald ring I was looking for, I hope there will be a surprise discovery! "

Ye Tian's voice came again, awakening everyone.

Before the words fell, Ye Tian had already taken a step forward and began to probe the wall facing the door, looking very careful and serious.

Of course, this is completely pretentious, performing for people to see!
